This monolith of immense proportions, snow-capped Kilimanjaro is a spectacle of pure unadulterated beauty.

A sight so stunning, it was unbelievable at the end of the last century.
"I came here not believing I could do it. I still cannot." - Mr. I. Foster.

The mountain owes its existence to the formation of the Great Rift Valley and is actually three volcanic cones that, due to their proximity, became one - Shira, Mawenzi and Kibo- together they make the highest free standing mountain in the world. It is possible to climb this 'wedding cake' mountain all year round although the best times are the dry months of January, February and July through to September.

Travellers Choice selects only those operators who prove they have a good and safe record.

Anglers can find trout in the delightful crystal cold rivers up to a height of 2001 meters (6557ft). The most interesting aspect during the climb is the distinct bands of vegetation at different altitudes.

Here a wealth of animal and birdlife abounds as does the Impatiens Kilimanjaro - a scarlet and yellow flower found nowhere else in the world. The alpine zone is made up entirely of giant hearth and moorland and here you may catch sight of rare birds of prey.

In all - an inspiration - a smile on the senses.
